Begin by ensuring your salmon fillet is fresh and has no skin. Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into thin, bite-sized slices.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a vibrant marinade.
Add the sliced salmon to the bowl with the marinade and gently toss to coat each piece evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes to slightly cure the salmon.
Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes. Finely slice the red chili, avocados, radishes, and cucumber.
On a serving platter, arrange the marinated salmon slices artfully. Overlap the slices and ensure even coverage across the plate.
Add the sliced avocado, radishes, and cucumber over the salmon for texture and additional flavor.
Sprinkle the sliced red chili over the dish for a hint of heat, followed by the chopped cilantro for freshness.
Serve immediately while the salmon retains its vibrant color and freshness.
